Run Camp is about more than logging miles. It’s about showing up, finding your people, and moving forward side by side. Whether you’re building toward a goal race or just want consistency and community, Run Camp’s goal is to make the miles better, together!

Why Run Camp?

Because accountability is easier when someone’s waiting for you.

Because hard workouts feel lighter when they are shared.

Because progress is more fun when you can celebrate it out loud.

Here is what you'll get:

  • Training schedule for your Fall half or full marathon* developed by Gazelle Elite coach, Sam Butler

  • 2 weekly group runs: Tuesday evenings and Saturday mornings (water stops, vendor partner support, lots of high fives)

  • Tuesday evenings will meet at the Mary Free Bed YMCA. These runs will focus on form, hill repeats, speed work, etc.

  • Mary Free Bed YMCA: 5500 Burton St. SE, Grand Rapids, MI 49546

o Run Camp participants will need to pass a background check per the YMCA

  • Saturday morning long runs will be from the Grand Rapids area Gazelle Sports stores and one other Grand Rapids area location
  • Store locations: Grand Rapids 28th St, Downtown Grand Rapids, and Grandville

  • Other Grand Rapids area location will be determined soon

  • Custom participant gift (designed just for Run Campers!)

  • Small pace groups (there is a pace group for everyone, and accountability from Team Leaders**)

  • Once a month speed workout session, supported by Gazelle Elite athletes

  • Will be held at the Mary Free Bed YMCA indoor track
  • Educational clinics (nutrition, Good Form Running, shoe fits, etc...)

  • 10% off personal purchases at Gazelle Sports throughout Run Camp (15% on days we run from the stores)

Gazelle Sports Run Camp is designed for adults 18 and older. Run Camp training is designed for individuals who are able to run at least a 5K (3.1 miles).

*Fall half and full marathons occurring between September 27 and October 18 will be accommodated. SHE RUNS Grand Rapids and the Grand Rapids & Detroit marathons are the main target races.

**If you are interested in becoming a Team Leader (lead a pace group with up to two other individuals), please contact John Ranville at jranville@gazellesports.com.

Note: Gazelle Sports Run Camp registration is for the training program only. You must register separately for your goal event.

    The Amway River Bank Run, presented by Fifth Third Bank with Corewell Health as the Official Health Partner, is held every year in downtown Grand Rapids, Michigan on the second Saturday of May.

    This year, on May 9, 2026, we will be celebrating 49 years and are looking forward to filling the streets of Grand Rapids with the largest 25K road race in the country, which includes the USA 25 km Open Championships, 25K Handcycle, 25K Wheelchair, 10K Run, 5K Run and 5K Community Walk.

    In addition to our in-person events, we offer virtual events that give individuals an opportunity to participate by completing the distance of their choice (25K, 10K, 5K, or 5K walk) on the course of their choice and any day that works between May 1 and May 31. Each virtual event offers extended finishing times (unlike the in-person course cutoffs) and having this flexibility makes the Virtual Race a great option for many runners and walkers. Plus, you still receive all the commemorative Amway River Bank Run Race Swag, which includes high-quality race shirts, premium medals and a virtual race bib.

    In 1978, just over 1,000 runners took to the streets on the second Saturday of May for the first annual Old Kent River Bank Run. In 2001, Old Kent Bank merged with Fifth Third Bank, and the event was renamed to showcase its new owner. With the transition of race ownership in 2018 to Riverbank Events and Media , a group of leading community partners came together, including Amway, Fifth Third Bank and Corewell Health, to ensure the race would continue its longstanding tradition of filling the streets of Grand Rapids with runners and walkers, on the second Saturday of May, for years to come. In 2019, with Amway as the title sponsor, the race became known as the Amway River Bank Run, presented by Fifth Third Bank and Corewell Health as the Official Health Partner.

    The Amway River Bank Run is proud to be celebrating 49 years in 2026 and we hope to see you at the Start Line!
